It seems a tad ironic that an expansion for Dust Tactics based around the invasion of England should arrive here roughly three months after it’s worldwide release. Still, as it’s finally with us this seems like as good a time as any to take a look at what’s inside the box. Unlike the previous expansions, Cerberus doesn’t come with any extra map tiles.

Following on from the first part of the article looking at the rules and miniatures, we ran a demo game to give you a bit more of an idea how Tor Gaming’s Relics plays out.
